1968 - Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
Hachita, New Mexico, United States
I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL 1968 TRUE 138 SS 396 CHEVELLE THAT I PURCHASED IN 1976. IT WAS REPAINTED TO THE FACTORY BUTTERNUT YELLOW IN 1998. THE SEATS AND FRONT DOOR PANELS HAVE ALSO BEEN REDONE TO THE FACTORY OYSTER COLOR AND FABRIC. THE TURBO 400 TRANSMISSION AND 12 BOLT 3.73 REAR END ARE ORIGINAL. THE ENGINE IS A DATE CORRECT 396 THAT WAS REDONE IN 2000. IT HAS BEEN BORED .030 AND A LUNATI CAM, EDELBROCK INTAKE, HOLLEY 650 AND A SPECTRE AIR FILTER WERE ADDED. IT HAS A MSD 6 BOX AND ELECTRONIC HEI IGNITION AND CAST EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT HAVE BEEN CERAMIC COATED WITH AN ALUMINIZED FLOWMASTER EXHAUST SYSTEM. I CHANGE THE FACTORY DISC BRAKES TO A SINGLE PISTON CALIPER STYLE AND I WILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY 4 PISTON CALIPERS WITH SPINDLES WITH THE SALE. THE CAR ORIGINALLY HAD A BENCH SEAT BUT I HAVE CONVERTED TO BUCKET SEATS AND CONSOLE FROM A DONOR 1968 CHEVELLE. I WILL INCLUDE THE FACTORY SEAT AND THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFTER LEVER AND LINKAGE. THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL WAS CHANGED TO THE ONE SHOWN AND WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS CHANGED TO A FLAMING RIVER LAST YEAR DUE TO A VERY WORN OUT FACTORY TILT COLUMN. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE 17" AND HAVE DECENT TREAD REMAINING. THE CAR IS VERY RELIABLE AND DRIVES ABSOLUTELY GREAT WITH NO RATTLES OR WIND LEAKS. ALL THE WEATHERSTRIP AND BODY GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IT HAS NO MAJOR LEAKS AND DOES NO USE NOR BURN OIL OR FLUIDS. IT HAS A FACTORY A/C THAT REQUIRES FREON ONCE A YEAR WHEN THE WEATHER REQUIRES THE USE OF THE A/C. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS IT WILL NEED THE REAR PANEL BELOW THE REAR WINDOW REPAIRED AND THE ROOF SHOWS SIGNS OF SURFACE RUST UNDER THE VINYL TOP. THIS IS A COMMON AREA OF REPAIR FOR THESE CARS. IT ALSO HAS A CRACKED DASH PAD AND THE CONTROLS FOR THE A/C AND HEATER NEED TO BE EITHER ADJUSTED OR SOMETHING TO HAVE THE AIR CONTROL THRU THE DUCTING FOR PROPER SELECTION WHERE TO EXIT. RIGHT NOW IT ONLY BLOWS OUT THE BOTTOM IN THE CENTER AND THE DEFROSTER. IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL PAINT SCRATCHES BUT NO DENTS. THE BUMPERS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT COULD USE RECHROMING. THE DASH HAS A COUPLE OF ILLUMINATION LIGHT BULBS THAT ARE IN NEED OF CHANGING. OVERALL THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SOUTHERN NM AREA WHERE THERE IS VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT GARAGED AND COVERED. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH OF HOW GREAT THIS CAR DRIVES, HANDLES AND HOW RELIABLE IT IS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE DRIVING IT ANYWHERE.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
